Treated the missus to a new Dyson, well anything to make her life easier – the old one has been cutting out after a few minutes, as it’s getting too hot. We did abuse it at the old house, it picked up just about everything thrown at it. So it’s going into the loft in-case [...]

Got home after midnight, so have been very tired for the past couple of days. Was supposed to get Thursday off, but kept getting pestered to do things (by the person who told me to have the day off!), although it’s not too bad when you’re sat at home. Picked up my glasses – weird [...]

Made what I consider to be a reasonable attempt at boarding the loft, helped by Tigger who jumped up more than once from the top of the book-shelf! Nosey little boy Hard work though, but we’ve managed to get quite a few things moved out of the way.
Came down to Reading yesterday, been [...]

Might make a chop at boarding the loft at the weekend, [...]

Took a few days holiday with the Bank Holiday; have to make the most of them as I don’t get as many as the wife does. Went to Belton House Monday, bit busy to say the least! Had a look around the grounds & house – decor wasn’t really to our taste. Joined the National [...]

Still no sign of the cat, so went out delivering flyers yesterday around the local streets. Just got around the corner, and a couple said “Oh yes we saw him in our green-house, but we’re not cat people so we gave him to the house along the road”. And there in the window looking out [...]
